Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

This skill was practically a divine technique for protecting the backline.

By transferring damage to oneself and combining it with the Guardian Warrior's naturally high Constitution, one could both tank and protect.

He closed the Class Change Book, already having a plan in mind; he had requested these two specifically for A Wang and Scarface Liu.

The two had been assisting Zhao Hu all this time, but they hadn't changed classes yet.

"Many thanks, Director Chen." Lin Feng put away the wooden box.

Zhou Meng smiled and waved his hand again.

Two middle-aged men stepped out from the group and stood beside Zhou Meng.

"These two were also specifically selected by Director Chen for Lord Lin."

Zhou Meng pointed to the dark-skinned, rough-handed, and sturdy middle-aged man on the left. "Li San, an Intermediate Farmer.

He has farmed his whole life, possesses rich experience, and is skilled in various {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} crop cultivation and farmland planning."

Then he pointed to the lean-faced, calm-eyed middle-aged man on the right who carried a faint scent of herbs: "Pharmacist Zhou, an Intermediate Pharmacist.

He is proficient in pharmacy and can concoct various healing potions, antidotes, and buff potions."

Lin Feng's eyes brightened even more.

An Intermediate Farmer! An Intermediate Pharmacist!

Li Si was only a basic Farmer and could already speed up crop growth by ten percent. Li San was Intermediate, so the effect would only be better.

Pharmacist Zhou was even rarer; being able to concoct various potions meant the team's survivability would increase significantly!

He took a step forward and solemnly cupped his fists. "Master Li, Master Zhou, welcome to Beacon Fire Town."

The two hurriedly bowed in return. "Greetings, Lord."

With a thought, Lin Feng used his lord authority to grant them the title of 【Honorary Resident】 on the spot.

Two invisible marks sank into the depths of their souls. Their bodies shuddered simultaneously, and uncontrollable excitement appeared in their eyes.

"This... this is..." Li San's voice trembled slightly.

"Honorary Resident," Lin Feng smiled. "From now on, you are Beacon Fire Town's own. If you need anything, just say it."

The two looked at each other and bowed again, this time much deeper: "Thank you, Lord!"

Lin Feng turned to look at Zhang Ping. "Zhang Ping, take the two masters to settle in.

Arrange for Master Li to go to the farmland, and let Master Zhou settle in the clinic for now. Later, a specific shop will be allocated to him as a pharmacy."

"Yes, Lord!" Zhang Ping quickly responded and led the two toward the town.

Li San and Pharmacist Zhou followed behind Zhang Ping. As they passed through the city gate, they looked back at Lin Feng from time to time, their eyes filled with gratitude and expectation.

Lin Feng watched them enter the town, his heart settling.

An Intermediate Farmer could take grain production to another level.

An Intermediate Pharmacist could concoct various potions, significantly increasing the team's endurance.

Add to that a thousand units of copper and tin ingots, a thousand units of grain, and two thousand gray crystals...

Beacon Fire Town's foundation had suddenly become much more substantial.

He turned to Zhou Meng and cupped his fists again. "Captain Zhou, many thanks for this. Why not come into town for a cup of tea and rest your feet before leaving?"

Zhou Meng shook his head and laughed. "I appreciate the kind offer, Lord Lin! But military duties are pressing, and I dare not delay. Now that these supplies have been delivered safely, we must rush back to report."

He mounted his beast and cupped his hands toward Lin Feng. "Lord Lin, take care! Next time I come, I hope Beacon Fire Town has already been promoted to Fenghuo County!"

Lin Feng smiled. "I'll take Captain Zhou's auspicious words. Have a safe journey!"

With a wave of Zhou Meng's hand, the 150-man armed force quickly formed up, guarding the empty carts as they turned and departed as swiftly and orderly as they had arrived.

The sound of hooves faded, and the dust settled.

Lin Feng stood outside the west gate, watching the departing team, and let out a long breath.

Behind him, Zhang Ping had already begun leading people to move the supplies. Grain, copper ingots, tin ingots, and gray crystals were carried into the warehouse box by box and bag by bag.

The residents gathered at a distance to watch the excitement, whispering among themselves with joy on their faces.

Lin Feng turned around, looking at this increasingly prosperous town, the smile on his lips impossible to suppress.

Two Class Change Books, two intermediate professionals, and a large batch of supplies...

Beacon Fire Town was looking more and more like the real deal.

He strode toward the Council Hall, his mind already calculating the next steps of his plan.

First, let A Wang and Scarface Liu change classes, then wait for the team to rest before heading into the Crying Rift Valley again.

Council Hall. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The core members were all gathered.

Zhao Hu stood at the head of the left side with his bone-crushing greatsword over his shoulder, looking even more energetic than yesterday.

After sleeping until he woke up naturally and taking a hot bath, he was completely refreshed.

Tie Dun sat beside him with a silly grin, clearly not yet fully recovered from the comfort of being back in town.

Wang Wu and Arrow Eye sat together, the two of them whispering about something and occasionally gesturing archery movements.

Su Yurou had changed into that blue 【overseers robe】 and sat by the window, her entire being possessing a bit more of a calm temperament.

She held a cup of hot tea, sipping it slowly, with a smile in her eyes.

Shadow Snake still stood in the shadows of the furthest corner, as if merging with the darkness. But those familiar with her knew she was listening.

A Wang and Scarface Liu stood toward the back.

Zhang Ping held an account book and stood to the side, ready to report at any time.

Lin Feng's gaze swept across everyone, and he nodded slightly.

"Everyone is here. Let's talk about the first matter."

He took out the wooden box from his robe and opened it; two bronze-colored Class Change Books lay quietly inside.

"Captain Zhou Meng delivered these today, 【Guardian Warrior】 Class Change Books, two in total."

A Wang and Scarface Liu's eyes widened instantly.

Lin Feng looked at the two of them: "A Wang, Scarface Liu. You've followed the team in battle for so long without changing classes; you've been slighted."

The two hurried to shake their heads, and A Wang said anxiously, "Lord, we haven't been slighted! Being able to follow you into battle is already a great blessing!"

Scarface Liu nodded repeatedly. "Right, right! A thing like a Class Change Book is not something people like us are qualified to even think about..."

Lin Feng interrupted him, stood up, walked over to the two of them, and handed a Class Change Book to each.

"Now, you have them."

A Wang looked down at the bronze-colored volume in his hand; the four words "Guardian Warrior" on the cover shimmered slightly.

His hands began to tremble, and his lips moved, but no sound came out.

Scarface Liu's reaction was not much better. He held the Class Change Book like it was some peerless treasure, and his eyes actually turned slightly red.

"Lord..." A Wang managed to squeeze out two words, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times, and then—

He dropped to one knee, cupped his fists, and lowered his head, his voice carrying an irrepressible sob:

"This life of A Wang's was bestowed by the Lord! From now on, whatever the command, I will not hesitate even if it means ten thousand deaths! If I betray Beacon Fire Town, may heaven strike me down!"

Scarface Liu followed immediately, also dropping to one knee, his voice hoarse yet firm:

"This life of Scarface Liu's is willing to die for the Lord! While Beacon Fire Town exists, Liu exists; if Beacon Fire Town falls, Liu falls!"
